History
Abdirizak Warsame was from Eagan, Minnesota, coming from a family of Sunni Muslim Somali-Americans in the Twin Cities region. He worked as a security guard before planning, along with 10 other Somali-Americans, to travel to Syria to fight with the Islamic State in the Syrian Civil War. On 9 December 2015 he was arrested before he could go to Syria, one of the many people from Minnesota to be arrested for "attempting to provide material support to ISIL" (Minnesota had the most ISIS sympathizers in the USA).
